SONIDOS LATINOS - a celebration of latin american music
   
Last year Caramoor launched a new Latin American Music Initiative: Sonidos Latinos. This adventurous project spans two years and involved new compositions, Festival concerts, radio broadcasts and family outreach concerts throughout Westchester.
Caramoor's vision calls for bringing Latin American music, often under-represented in serious classical music venues, to a position of importance commensurate with the growing prominence and influence of Latin American culture in our society. The initiative explores indigenous musical traditions and contemporary trends while also expanding the genres through new compositions.
As part of Sonidos Latinos, Paquito D'Rivera has been named Caramoor's 2007-08 Composer-in-Residence. Marco Granados, a Venezuelan flute player and composer, serves as the project's Music Advisor. With their assistance and input, Caramoor will present eight Latin American-themed concerts over the next two seasons.
The 2007 Festival featured five concerts programmed as part of the initiative, each focusing on different aspects of Latin American music. Last summer, Sonidos Latinos showcased Venezuelan dance music, Latin American chamber music and orchestral works, Latin jazz and traditional instruments and music from Latin America in a concert for the whole family. These concerts were unique, exciting and only at Caramoor.

Designed and hosted by teaching artist Katie Kresek (Lincoln Center Institute, New York Philharmonic, The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and Columbia University Teachers College) Tango for Tots introduces young children to both the music and dance of Argentine Tango in a way that is interactive, visual, accessible and fun! Engaging children through musical games, storytelling, activities, and performances with professional tango dancers and live music, the program will promote active listening and an imaginative concert-going experience for all. The program will trace the music of Argentine Tango back to its roots, and explore the relationship of the music to the dancing, the musicians to one another, and the performance to the audience.

Sonidos Latinos heats up with an all Tango program. Regarded as the father of the modern Tango, which was well known only as a strikingly dramatic dance, Astor Piazzolla elevated and introduced its form and feeling into concert music. Buenos Aires Now explores how composers since have taken up Piazzolla's call. Caramoor's Composer-in-Residence Paquito D'Rivera and Sonidos Latinos favorite Marco Granados return with a star-studded cast of musicians deeply versed in this vibrant art form.
Introduce your family to Caramoor and enjoy the sounds of the concert from the picnic grounds. Purchase Concert Al Fresco tickets ($9.00).
Sonidos Latinos is made possible by generous support from the New York State Music Fund, established by the New York State Attorney General at Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.
